@FBK289 You'll want to speak to the club (Southern Cross Gliding Club). If you're not too far away, the easiest thing would just be to drive to the airport and speak to them on the field. Otherwise, you can find the contact details on the club website.
@FBK289 I suggest you check this page before you go: gliding.com.au/weather.php. We use a grass landing strip and can't fly when it's too heavily soaked (we don't want to dig trenches as we land). That page should help you work out when people will be there. :)
@Cooee28 yeah this trough that is hanging around the east coast atm is being a pain! Unusual to have so much high pressure down south too! The thought of having to find thermals to keep flying just spins me out, are there well known locations that you guys try around camden that are good for lift? Are you close enough to the mountains for ridge soaring?
thats the glider i did my first takeoff in :)

I had my first glider solo flight in GIQ about a month ago!

I went solo in that aircraft as well! :) It's a nice aircraft, I think.
